My dad used to keep his old plates hanging on the wall in the garage. I don`t know why he did it, but after moving a few times they eventually disappeared. My dad is gone now. When I saw this image during voting, it made me think about him & his plates, a good, nostalgic feeling. Congratulations on the ribbon!
Im glad my picture was able to bring back some good memories, thats a big part of what photography is about.

I think the subject (wall of a barn?) has potential for this challenge. However, I think you tried to include too much where the numbers get lost. I think a tight composition (perhaps three plates high) would have greater impact.
I did have a shot as you suggested but I felt showing that these tags were part of a building rather than just an array would have proven better. But I will post the cropped shot later if you are interested in comparing the two. Thanks again for the comments.
What a unique sight! Congrats on your ribbon. I really wonder what that person had in mind when aligning all these plates. Any clue?
Im really not sure what his intentions were besides a small passion for expired tags. Most of the dates seem to be from the 70's and 80's but I found some on the back that were from the 50's. This building is located on an old abandon farm and happened to find it a year ago on a location scouting trip. It was the first place that popped into my mind when this challenge came about.
